Middle aged white guys got rhythm!

Wow, I just read through the past 5 or so pages, and I've been oblivious to the gathering... Sorry Jay! I will attend!
I'll send my moola in to you Jay, or I can just drop it off if that works better for you. I'll attend Friday night, then
work duty calls overnight. After a nap on Sat morning, I'd like to catch up with you all where ever Jay leads you, so if there would be
someone that would be kind enough to give me their cell number, or I'll just give mine, I can catch up! Plus, I'll be there for Sunday..
Jay, if there is some way I can assist you, please just ask!

P.S. I've been absent for the past seven or so months due to my father's health deteriorating, and then his passing. Been dealing with that and family
demands since. Glad to pull my head up to see this event happening right in my backyard! Thanks, I really need this for smiles and miles!

[crespo]

I'll miss you this time as well. Flying out this Monday :-( Have a great time! Cheers!

Jim,

You have a PM...

I will post final information on Saturday including a list of all known participants.

summary of "events"

The weather is coming into play and the group is very small. So, we are going to wing a fair amount of the activities and shoot for having the best time possibile.

Friday night wine and cheese and Saturday evening dinner are written in stone.

I have 2 fun runs planned (one Saturday/One Sunday), and I'm willing to play follow the leader if we get rain shortened.

Newtown, New Hope and Doylestown are all close by, plenty to do...

If we get rained out, bring a board game...its about the people.

Hoping for sunshine,

Jay

[Rap]

Great mens store in Doylestown. Jay, will the Saturday and Sunday runs depend on the amount of rain or just rain itself?

[94SilverCab]

We just get consensus from the group. I'm willing to drive in almost anything. Directions for the runs will be printed and even if we were to have a blizzard you could be our intrepid traveler.

Just waiting for the mail and I'll publish a full list of dinner attendees.

Jay

Hi, all,

I may be able to attend on Sunday...can you tell me where/when you're meeting on Sunday morning for the fun run?

[Rap]

Hi Jerry,

It would be great to see you!

We will be meeting at the hotel (Homewood Suites) and I would like to get the fun run started by 10 AM. The run is about 3 hours/70+ miles and encompasses some very beautiful roads and sites.

Picnic

Farewell

Truthfully, there are a lot of potential things we can add, the group is small enough that we can add or subtract on the fly...the main goal is to hang out and have some fun. Melva and I are looking forward to showing you the best of Bucks County.

Based on a couple of late breaking e-mails, we may have as many as 15 968s, that's pretty good in my book.

Looking forward to Friday,

Jay

Jay,

Great 3 day agenda with something for everyone - great job! For those coming, I highly recommend a visit to New Hope, we have been there numberous times and always enjoyed the sights, shopping and food.

Bra is on the 968 and we are ready to go! Clear weather forecast for Hershey this Saturday - if chance of rain, will have to strip off the Bra before leaving!

Yeah, new 968 Hasegawa and NZG models will be done by then (primered and first coat of paint). Will provide advice on model building if anyone wants it.

Don

[Darryl]

Looks like the weather is going to cooperate!! Looking forward to a little R&R with everyone. Packing up some FREE goodies for all attendees - and I'm also bringing supplies for Wash and Shine Friday afternoon and samples to use and try. See everyone tomorrow...some Saturday.

[Rap]

Darryl you must have a better weather app than me or a meteorological friend. Or is it a full glass? No matter, I am also looking forward to meeting all you guys and gals regardless of the weather!

Bob

[Darryl]

OK, Friday may be hit or miss, but Saturday says 30% chance or precip with isolated showers and Sunday looks fine at 10% chance of precip. As long as the isolated showers aren't isolated to the parking lot I'm in, I'm fine with that!! But, you're right...maybe I'm just a glass half full kinda guy. The way things have been going for me lately, the clouds will be directly above me all weekend no matter where I go or how fast I drive. See you tomorrow!
